Was looking through the “New Arrivals” section of some sites I like and figured I would share a couple of things that stood out to me (perhaps I can make this into a recurring series)…
Read moreAre These Stretchy Pants Better Than LuLuLemon?
Sometimes you want to look nice, but don’t want to fell all dressed up. You don’t want your movement to be restricted at all, and you just want to feel like you’re wearing sweatpants, but look like you’re wearing chinos. That is, in a nutshell, the pitch when it comes to LuLuLemon “stretchy pants”, the new trend that all guys these days seem to be wearing…
Read moreCustom Pants Online From Woodies — A Review
We have reviewed custom shirts from Woodies before in the past. Our conclusion? Solid fabrics, solid construction and quality, but a lackluster website and not a super flexible pattern leading to difficulty in truly nailing down a perfect fit. Overall, then, solid, but not if you’re super picky about fit. This winter, though, they released flannel-lined chinos. These are something I have wanted for some time, but usually are not available in a fit that I want…
Read moreReview: Blank Label’s Custom Tailored Pants
Here we are, back once again with another review of online, MTM clothing. We have taken a look at Blank Label before, specifically their custom shirt offerings. While they have a clean website, nice fabric curation, and produce a quality garment, we found their fit inconsistent across multiple orders, perhaps the biggest flaw in their system…
Read moreReview: Tani Undershirts & Thermals — Is A $75 Undershirt Worth It???
Readers seemed to really like our coverage of Tani’s luxurious underwear, and so we are back once again with some more products of theirs in review. This time they sent over some things to wear up top and opposed to down below. First is their full set of thermals ($145)…
Read moreA Review of SPOKE Trousers + Polo Shirts
A new, rather interesting company launched recently. It’s called SPOKE and it’s based out of London. As is implied by their name (be-spoke), they want to offer a more custom, tailored, precise fit for various garments of clothing. They’re starting with pants, cords, and polos…
Read moreLanieri Custom Suit Review
As we continue to cover online MTM here on the site, we are journeying further into the world of online MTM suiting. We have already reviewed both Indochino and Black Lapel — two of the biggest and most popular companies in this space. Now we turn our attention to another contender, Lanieri ($740+). Their slogan is “Italians do fit better” and it very well encapsulates what sets Lanieri apart from the other online MTM suiting companies…
Read moreGQ Looks For Less: Tristan Thompson At The Armani Thompson Soiree
GQ will often feature looks that are a bit outside the realm of what we would suggest for most guys here on the site. To many, GQ is increasingly losing its relevance. Still, sometimes they do still really know what they are talking about, and do a great job highlighting some of the better looks out there in modern menswear…
Read moreBanana Republic Pants Haul & Roundup Review
If you read this site, you know that we have been pretty down on Banana Republic (and many other similar companies!) for their utter lack of consistency in fit across their product line. This is why we’ve been trying to do more of these roundup/haul style posts in which we order a bunch of items from one brand, and compare them to each other…
Read moreA Full Week Of Outfits For Under $1,000: Sunday Edition
Sunday is the ideal day to wear jeans. If you need to do some work in the yard, you’re covered. But if you buy nice enough jeans, they can work just as well to hang out with friends, take a trip to the park, or go out to eat later on in the day. The jeans + tee + sneakers looks is a classic style move, and one you should nail down. Follow our lead here, and we’re sure that you will!…
